VRO 300M Program Operations
33
Explode
Any repetitive type of step causes the VRO 300M to create copies of one or
more simpler steps. For example, the Repeat step below creates 2 copies of
the 6-line contour, yet it takes only one step. Similarly, a single Bolt Circle
step causes the readout to create several holes.
Repetitive type steps include Repeat, Mirror, Row of Holes, Hole Frame, Hole
Array, and Bolt Circle.
The Explode function will take one of these repetitive type steps and replace it
with the individual steps. This is useful when you need to change or
eliminate one of the individual steps.
For example, to program an eight-hole bolt circle without the third hole:
1.
Program the eight-hole bolt circle.
2.
Highlight the Bolt Circle step.
3.
Press
MORE EXPLODE . The Bolt Circle step is removed and eight
Position steps are inserted in its place.
4.
Move to the third hole and press the CLEAR key.
